Only 6 days left to register your scarecrow
All entries who wish to be judged must let us know by 6.00 pm on Thursday May 2nd
A good starting point is to use two pairs of ladies’ tights, 1st pair stuffed with straw, hay, paper, or rags for the legs, the 2nd pair (again stuffed) upside down for the arms. Join the two together making sure the body parts of them are fully stuffed. (see example here) >>>
Then using 1 leg of a pair of tights, fill with straw into a rounded shape and tie the end off with string. You should be able to attach this to the upside pair.
Shirt and trousers, or even a jacket and tie, and possibly a hat to finish it off, (all your own design of course)!
We hope this helps, but if you have any better (easier) ideas please let us know so that we can pass them on.
If you look for “images of how to build a scarecrow” on Google, and YouTube there are plenty of ideas on video.
Good luck, but most of all enjoy the fun of it!
